By
Sergei Aleksandrovich
A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
imgproxy is a self-hosted, open-source image processing server designed to be fast, secure, and simple. Created by Sergei (CTO and author), it addresses the common pain points of image handling: building in-house solutions is time-consuming, while third-party services become expensive at scale. Packaged as a single Docker image with no third-party dependencies, imgproxy can be deployed anywhere in minutes and handles large volumes of image resizing, processing, and conversion requests on demand.
